Hilarious Vl Turbo Bov Sound

Hi um i have been wondering and debating with my friends for quite a while, what makes the BOV's (or the majority of) on VL turbo's sound so bad? Like normally i dont mind the tshhhhhhh sound but the VL turbo's go tsh tsh tsh tsh tsh like in fast succesion at a high pitch and its hilarious. I have noticed HKS sequential BOV's which i assume let the air off out of 2 openings and thought perhaps this could be the cause of queerness. Also i was wondering if it could be that the BOV is like loose or far to small or something? Like its slapping open then coming back down on itself and being slapped open again by the air rushing out. Could it be like absurd amounts of compressor wheel surge or something?

I know thats not really skyline related but well i dont know a huge amount about turbo'd cars and have been laughing at VL's for like 5 years trying to figure out why they (or the vast majority of) them sound so gay. ( and they got like r31 engines in em right?)

That noise you are reffering to is called compressor surge. It personal choice whether you like it or not but the reason why it makes that noise becasue as you take your foot off the throtle their is no BOV for the air coming from the turbo to ecscape so it goes back out through the turbo making that tsh tsh tsh tsh noise.

No blow off valve & no intercooler

They do have an intercooler, finding a decent picture of a stock RB30ET engine bay is the difficult part

See right before the throttle body, that is a factory VL Turbo intercooler.

It can still make that sound with that crossover pipe because it doesnt have a BOV(im pretty sure) that tiny cooler thing isnt really going to effect the compressor surge. If its taken you years to work out what that noise is well you havnt been round very long cause theres normally a thread about it weekly

ahh but my car doesnt have a bov and doesnt make the queer noise. Is it because of a larger turbo size? Like more air banking up and rushing back into the turbine when ur intake(?!?) closes makes the noise right, so a bigger turbo would produce more of that and make more of a noise out of it?

r32 gts-turbo- when i got a new motor fitted in my skyline rb25/30, and at that time i didnt have a bov for it (now it does) it made the exact noise but yeh i didnt mind it too much, but mine flutters at low psi then has the usual bov whoosh at higher boost levels

      Cas issue

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
